Purchasing hierarchy

Hello ,
again i have a couple of questions about purchasing position hierarchy please.
one: how can i force the purchasing buyer to enter purchase orders that are above a specific amount all the time,; say that all purchase orders must be equal or more to 100$?Give me details please..
two: can i skip a level in the middle of the approval hierarchy levels for purchase orders that are in the amount range say 100$ to 200 $? if possible how can i do it? please provide me with details..
i need to solve this matter urgently..
Please help me.

Vikram,
1) When you define the Employee in HR, you need to assign a Supervior (under Assignments). That forms the Employee-Supervisor hierarchy automatically. Also ensure to define Job flexfields in HR, and assign a Job to each Employee.
2) In PO module - Financial Options setup form - select that you are using Employee-Supervisor hierarchy for that Operating Unit. Also define Approval Groups (approval authority in terms of dollar value, account segments range, item category etc), and assign these groups to the Jobs.
These two setups should suffice for using Emp/Sup forwarding method for purchasing documents. System would derive an employee's approval limits based on his job and check if he can approve a given PO/Requisition (of course, the Document Types setup determines whether you allow the document owner can approve it). If he cannot, then it would look for his Supervisor and his approval limits. It goes on until it finds a suitable approver, or exhausts the entire hierarchy.

  • Purchasing Hierarchy change

    Hi Everyone.
    How do i enter a user into  a hierachy structure that has already been created.
    Or how do I replace one user with another on a hierachy table.
    Answers from both HRM and PO responsibilities are most welcome.
    Which forms (path) do I open to get to those functions.
    Thank you.

  • Purchasing document security problem

    we are on 12.0.6
    There are four document security options [Purchasing, hierarchy, Private and Public]
    We had hierarchy set for Standard Purchase orders which means only the doc owner, subsequent approvers, and individuals above the document owner in the security hierarchy can access the document
    Now there are people from finance dept and planning dept who want to vie PO`s and PO summary but this is not possible due to the hierarchy option set
    If we change the setting to purchasing, than all buyers can view eachother documents which again we dont want to happen
    whats the solution for it
    Any suggestions plz

    the same reply from another user was mines too as now i have two accounts due to the migration thing that happened a month back
    "suppose one of the parts of hierarchy is as follows
    User C with approval group assigned, below him is user B and then user A..
    User A makes the PO and submits for approval, user B gets it in the notification summary and approves it which then routes to user C who when approves it is finally approved
    now where to put the accounts and audit users in the hierarchy..on the level with user B, if so then still they cannot see PO`s because hierarchy security option means "only the doc owner, subsequent approvers, and individuals above the document owner in the security hierarchy can access the document"
    If i put the users between user B and C than the PO routing would go through them and that is not needed at all
    so what to do"

  • PO Hierarchy Setup

    Hi,
    We are Oracle 11.0.3. Would like to know if anyone has setup the hierarchy such that individual personal assistant can make the changes to hierarchy? As an example, Dept A has sub-depts A1, A2. Each dept and sub-depts has their own personal assistant(PA) say PA1 for dept A, PA2 for sub-dept A1 and PA3 for sub-dept A2.
    1) Can we setup the hierarchy such that PA2 can only see the hierarchy for sub-dept A1 but cannot see the hierarchy for Sub-dept A2 and vice versa for PA3?
    2) PA1 should be able to see the whole hierarchy.
    If the above can't be setup, anyone has the experience to customize it?
    Thanks for your reply.

    Oracle Purchasing hierarchy will not look at the DFF. It will go only by your hierarchy setup (either position based or emp-supervisor based.)

    Hi Gurus,
    We are in SRM 7.0 (EHP2) ,Extended Classic and planning to migrate from Application Controlled workflow to Business Rules Framework( BRF) workflow.
    As of now we have BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI to determine approvers dynamically based on Approval limits custom table and based on cost center for SCs.
    For POs its based on Purchasing Hierarchy
    Please let me  know how to handle dynamic approvals for SC and PO.
    Also please let me know how to handle the opens SCs and POs and their migration,switch back to application controlled if things doesn't work fine.

  • Problem with services hierarchy and purchase order

    Hi I'm in Srm 7 EHP8(classic scenario) and i have a problem with services hierarchies:
    I create a Purchase requisition in ECC with the next structure:
    1.Hier
    1.1 Serv1
    1.2 Serv2
    1.3 Serv3
    Then I upload this PR to SRM(I activated the BBP_EXTLOCALPO_BADI to change to the Extended-classic scenario to upload correctly the hierarchy)
    and in the SOCO  I only choose the position 1.1 Serv1 and create a purchase order.
    The problem is the purchase order created in ECC contain all the services of the purchase requisition, not only the service I choose(1.1 Serv1) to create the purchase order, in SRM the purchase order is correct with only one position(1.1 Serv1)
    Any Idea?.
    Thanks for the help.

  • Purchase Order - service specification - outline hierarchy

    When creating a purchase order for services, I am entering services lines in the SERVICES TAB, I would like to structure the services in the service specification into a hierarchy of outline levels. How I can do this?  How can I activate the Service Specification outline ?
    Thanks

    Hello,
    You can use an outline only in t the 'Full Screen: service'. In the Services full screen, you can choose 'Outline On/Off' to show and hide the service overview. You ser the width of the service overview as desired and when entering the transaction, system displays the settings selected before leaving the transaction.
    If you select an outline level, the data area of the services displays the relevant service lines. You can choose 'Services' to display at outline level whether service line exist at outline level.

  • Vendor Hierarchy  and purchase orders

    Hi,
    We have activated the vendor hierarchy and it's working in purchase order, but we want to control the same.  for Example, we have assigned  X  and Y as goods suppliers in Vendor Master of A in partner function.
    and system shows the same when we create purchase order but we can skip it or change the name of goods supplier in purchase order which we don't want to do,
    So pls help us how can we control the same,  we want in purchase order,  we can assign only a goods supplier which will be either X or Y not beyond that.
    Pls advice.
    Thanks
    Sandeep

    Go to IMG - Material management - Purchasing - Partner determination - Partner setting in Purchasing document - Define Partner schema..
    Here make a partner schema with GS (Goods supplier) as No Change...
    Then go to the next step i.e. Assign partner schema to Document type..
    Here assign the schema created it the previous step to the document type u want (for eg. NB - standard PO... Assign the schema created)
    This will not allow you to change supplier field in standard PO.

  • Problem with the hierarchial fields in a Purchase order xml report

    Hi,
    I am having a problem with the hierarchy problem. We are populating attribute 15 of a PO header. some times it can be null. FYI, we are using 11.5.10 instance where oracle supports direct PO template rather than having a rdf file.
    And now in the xml report, if attribute15 of po header is not null then it is fine.
    But if attribute15 is null, then the template is picking from the next available attribute15 that is from the po lines. As the line level group of "LINES" is between the "PO_DATA" (header group), hence the template is checking for next available attribute15.
    Can any one please suggest how to design the template where we can make the template to check only for that tag at the header level group rather than the line level group tag?
    Thank You in advance.

  • Purchase Order with Vendor Hierarchy

    Hello,
    I created a PO to a vendor that is in a vendor hierarchy and I wanted that the pricing conditions considered were the pricing conditions of the top level vendor.
    The pricing conditions that are being considered are the conditions from the vendor for what I've created the PO.
    Can anyone help me in this thing?
    Thank you very much.
    Best regards,
    Nelson Ribeiro.

    The requirment is when we are creating a PO for a vendor that is one a lower level of the hierarchy the pricing conditions to be carried out are the ones associated with the vendor that is on the top level.
